Eddy Morales - A Progressive Democrat who gets real results
All likely Democratic primary voters across the district need to need to see, read, and see on the go that:
Progressive Democrat Eddy Morales has the lived experience and the record of results to fight for us in Congress. Eddy’s mom immigrated from Mexico - in the trunk of a car - and fled to Oregon to escape domestic violence where she brought multiple generations of her family together under one roof. He has lost two brothers to gun violence and a sister to addiction. Because of this, Eddy has dedicated his life to public service, first as a community organizer, and then as Gresham City Council President, where he led the fight to create more affordable housing and improve public safety.
If elected, Eddy Morales would be the first Latino to represent the district and LGBTQIA+ Congressperson to represent Oregon.
In Congress, Eddy Morales will continue to get results and fight for:
- First, he will create more affordable housing, just like he did on the Gresham City Council, so that families can live under the same roof and provide support.
- Eddy has been fighting for safe, affordable housing from his time as a student organizer to today as Gresham Council President, where he pushed to create multi-generational affordable housing so that grandparents, aunts and uncles can live under the same roof and provide support
- Second, he will address the root causes of crime, getting guns off our streets, funding officer training, and improving community relations, just like he has already done.
- He created a first-of-its-kind Youth Violence Prevention Program partnering with community groups to address the root causes of crime in our communities.
- On the Gresham City Council, Eddy worked to bring funding for police training and retention, while supporting strict accountability and transparency for officers to improve community relations.
- In Congress, Eddy will fight for the resources we need to keep our community safe.
- He will protect abortion rights and reproductive freedoms from extremist Republican attacks and conservative judges. Eddy will always protect access to birth control, abortion, and reproductive healthcare.
- He will fix our broken immigration system to keep our families together.
- He will expand affordable healthcare access to all Oregon families.
Eddy lives in Gresham with his husband and mother-in-law.
